Tarantella

I hear your voice way down inside
Whispering "See the towering tree", but don't reply
The silence so real and more than I can stand
Sweeps like a flood through life's flesh and blood
Then steals away with its heart

If I'm losing you, then there's nothing more that I can say
The fighting is on and battles are won or thrown away
But if I could leave safe and sound
In God-given fields on mountains of steel
Then here I'd stay till you're gone

Holding and stealing every thought I own
I will take my turn to fight the bullfight
Every word's sunken deep like the blade of a knife through my heart
And my strength will return to fight the bullfight

Stars come into the show
I'm told nothing more than I should know
A ship on the sea
It threatens to leave the depth of me
The silent blue
Where life
Clings to your hands like water and sand
Will lose its way
When you've gone to the dark

All is forgiven
But still every fault's my own
I will take my turn
To fight the bullfight
Say a prayer for my release
When every hope in the world is asleep
My strength will return
To fight the bullfight
